Ali RAA said to Uthman RAA when he entered upon him: “The people are behind me and they have made me an ambassador between you and themselves; but by Allah, I do not know what to say to you. I know nothing which you do not know, nor can I lead you to any matter of which you are not aware. You certainly know what we know, we have not come to know anything before you which we could tell you; nor did we learn anything in secret which we should convey to you. You have seen as we have seen and you have heard as we have heard. You sat in the company of the Prophet of Allah as we did. (Abu Bakr) Ibn Abi Quhafah and (`Umar) ibn al-Khattab were no more responsible for acting righteously than you, since you are nearer than both of them to the Prophet of Allah through kinship, and you also hold relationship to him by marriage which they do not hold.”…..

So after reading this sermon few points are highlighted:

1- Uthman RAA knows what Ali RAA knows.
2- They both Accompanied the Prophet PBUH and both learned from him from what they saw and heard.
3- Prophet PBUH didn’t teach Ali RAA anything in secret so that he may tell Uthman RAA about it nor does he have divine hidden secret knowledge (Which the prophet PBUH entrusted only to him as Shiites claim).
4- Abu Bakr RAA and Umar RAA both did righteous deeds but Uthman RAA is entitled to do more since the Prophet PBUH married him two of his daughters.

One of the sunni brother said:

This is obviously recorded, but I have seen Twelver Shia authors explain this away as meaning that Ali (Radhia Allahu Anhu) was referring to them as the Prophet’s (Salla Allahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) daughters in the linguistic sense (as a figure of speech) and not in a literal sense. I think it is fairly common knowledge among those who argue with Twelvers that many of them do reject multiple daugters for the Prophet (Salla Allahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) and stick to the opinion that his only daughter was Fatimah (Radhia Allahu Anha).

Then how can uthman RAA be closer to the Prophet PBUH than Abu bakr RAA and Umar RAA (Who married him their daughters)?, Secondly in the arabic Hadith Ali RAA uses the word ‘Rahm’ Or “WOMB” which means BLOOD RELATION and he uses Word “Sihr” OR “SON IN LAW” and these words CANNOT ever be used in the fashion the shiites state, I just translated it a bit differently but it’s the exact same idea only easier to understand. After using these CLEAR ARABIC words no Shiite can deny this and use the stupid argument above.

For example if I place the raw arabic text in google translator I would get something which doesn’t make sense like this:

“God, what know what to say to you? I know something ignorant, and massage on the order you do not know, you have to know what we know, what Sbaknak to something Vnkhbrk it, in Kllona something Venbulgkh, I have seen were seen and heard as we heard, and accompanied the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon his family) also accompanied us, and Ibn Abi dipper maiden speech I’m not the work of the right of you, and you are closer to the Messenger of Allah (peace
Him and his family) and glue them the womb has been obtained from the melt did not receive a”

As you can see both words are used, The word SIHR means both “Son in Law” or “Melting”, here Google translated as Melt but it means Son in law And this is not a figure of speech.

ALSO

033.059 O Prophet! Tell thy wives and daughters, and the believing women, that they should cast their outer garments over their persons (when abroad): that is most convenient, that they should be known (as such) and not molested. And God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

That’s enough for our brother, truly Arabic is a blessing as well as the “Brain”…daughters in the linguistic sense LOL! they come up with the best excuses ever.

Above The scholar al Mufid in his book al Masa’el al Surawiyah Page 92, 94, Saying That The prophet Lot PBUH asked the Kouffar to marry his daughters as Allah said “011.078 And his people came rushing towards him, and they had been long in the habit of practising abominations. He said: “O my people! Here are my daughters: they are purer for you (if ye marry)! Now fear God,” He also says that the prophet PBUH married his daughters to two Kouffars Utbah bin AbI lahab and Abu al Asi bin Rabiyah but abu al Asi became a Muslim later on… and the Pophet PBUH was not a Muwali for the people of Kufr under any circumstances and he married his daughter to a person who disassociated himself from his religion and became his enemy and these two are the ones whom Uthman bin Affan married after the death of utbah and abu al Asi …

Above the other Shiite scholar al Sayyed Ibn Tawoos in his book “Al Tara’ef fi Mathahib a Tawa’ef” page 44 says: “And this virtue happened to fatima The daughter of the prophet PBUH from amongst his daughters and from amongst the girls of his household and the girls of his ummah”.

Muhammad Jawad Mughniyah in “Al Shia fil Meezan” page 20 says: His children: He had 3 males and 4 females , The males are Al Qassim and Abdullah sons of Sayyedah Khadijah, and Ibrahim son of Mariah, they all died as children and the females are Zainab, Umm Kulthoum, Ruqayyah, Fatimah who entered Islam and got married then died during the life of the prophet PBUH except for the Sayyedah of all women Fatimah al Zahra’a.

Al Sayyed Muhsen al Ameen in his book “A’ayan al Shia” 1/223 says that the prophet PBUH had al Qassim who died in Mecca and Abdullah who was born in mecca and died in it … Fatimah and she is the youngest daughter who married Ali RAA then Zainab she was the oldest and married Abu Al Asi before Islam … Then uthman married the two one after the other…

Al Sheikh al TUSI in his book “Al Mabsout” 4/159,158 says: … and He PBUH married his daughters: Fatimah PBUH to Ali PBUH ameer al mumeneen and her mother was Khadijah, And Married his two daughters Ruqayyah and Umm Kulthoum to uthman when the first one died, He said: If there was a third we would’ve given her to him in marriage. Al Zubair married Asma’a bint Abu bakr and she was the sister of Aisha and Talha married her other sister…

Al Sheikh al TABRASI in’Tajul Mawaleed’ Page 9-8, The prophet PBUH had seven children from Khadijah, 2 sons and 4 daughters … As for Ruqayyah she married Utbah bin Abu Lahab and divorced her before entering inside her so Uthman married her and she died in madinah on the day of Badr, As for Umm Kulthoum … Then uthman married her…

Al Qadi al nu’uman al maghribi in Sharh al Akhbar 1/185,186 He says: And she got him his oldest son Al Qassim and this was his kuniyah PBUH (Abu al Qassim) Then Al tayib then al Tahir and her oldest daughter was Ruqayyah then Zainab then umm Kulthoum then Fatimah PBUH…
